New town manager brings development know-how, passion to Flower Mound

Flower Mound Mayor Tom Hayden (left) and Town Manager Jimmy Stathatos are eager to introduce the public to Lakeside’s views of Lake Grapevine.

At the November 19, 2012 town council meeting, the Flower Mound Town Council sent strong signals to the development community.

First, they voted to hire Jimmy Stathatos, the town manager of Roanoke who led an aggressive and successful economic development campaign that grew that town’s tax base from from $99 million in 1998 to $1.7 billion in 2011 and generated $10 million in sales tax.

Second, they unanimously approved a new mixed-use zoning package for the 150-acre Lakeside DFW.

Comments

The Lakeside DFW community is coming along beautifully!!!! What ever happened to the ‘mature’ trees that they were saving to replant? The trees planted all around the shops and down the middle of the streets don’t seem ‘mature’! Shade would be nice with all the concrete. In the meantime, maybe “plant” some extra large umbrellas along the sidewalks! And, maybe a few park benches, too!!! Love the look of things so far!!!! And, what about a farmer’s market a couple of days per week? Thanks, Great job!!!!
